Background Singers

Hey there lads and lasses. I am not going to waste anytime and just jump right into it, so here we go. Lately, I have really been doing alot of self-analysis. I know that this is going to help me in my journey to find myself because it will help me mature, not put so much raw emotion into decisions, but instead think things through more logically. When I have been doing this, I have noticed a change. That change being that I see a whole new perspective. Instead of seeing things in my emotion-filled and narrow mind, I am seeing things in a more open and understanding mindset. It really frees yourself to endless possibilities. To stop over thinking every situation and applying soo much raw emotion into every decision and into relationships or whatever you might be thinking about. It brings peace to my mind. It brings me closer to God because I am really letting HIS will be done and not mine. I am not forcing things, and letting the Lord take the lead.

As one of my favorite Christian-rappers Lecrae said in one of his songs:

I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead

We all are just the background singers to God. We don't have to be the best of the best, or the cream of the crop of singers, but we are good enough to be in the band that God has created. WE ARE ACCEPTED. We just need to put our arrogance and thirst for the lime-light behind us and humble ourselves to what God really wants us to be.

Being a background singer does not mean we are perfect. We all are hypocrites, we sin, we make mistakes. We sometimes don't harmonize together well, but that is all put away and doesn't matter when God's voice rocks your socks off.

We are God's background singers and in the same situation, so why call out each others imperfections, when we are all in the same boat of brokenness and hypocrisy? God calls us to be better than the average teenager. He calls us to be mature in our faith, and in the way we act towards each other. That doesn't mean we always are, but if we strive towards that and actually work towards that ultimate goal then we are humbling ourselves to God's will. We are the Lord's background singers. We let him take the lead and blow away the crowd while he uses each one of our special gifts to add to the wonderful song known as the Grace of God. Amen.
